Australia calling Thanks for clearing up the immune system response I am know insisting that my young uns get three shots, much to my vets head shaking and all adults get the initial two Where do I find documentation on ferret going and not going feral? My initial journal searches proved almost useless. I am trying to convince the Vertebrate pest committee that they do not pose a threat as their has been a move to make ferret Illegal after years of legal Yikes! So please help I do not wish to live in a FFZ. May of your ferret seem to go into heat early. Is this due to breeders breeding all year round under lights which control the photoperiod response or is it just genetic? Whenever any of my furries have antibiotics they get acidophilus to try and help their gut flora cope. I was also reading back issues of this Mailing list where it was mentioned that like humans, some ferrets may have problems dealing with antibiotics and cause them to feel too ill to eat, despite controlling the infection? Just something to ask the vet. Well time to go and be popcorned (my SO name for ferret weasel war dance) all over it diner time Bethany [Posted in FML issue 1906]
